Even if you don't need a planning permit for your development you may still need an approval of some other kind - such as a 'concurrence approval' from Council before you can commence construction or use of a premises. 

There are some things you need to know before buying a property to use, develop, or subdivide. An AUP due diligence investigation involves looking at the planning scheme 'context'. Our expertise enables us to also identify and comment on a full range of development considerations including slope, water drainage and vegetation. 

For a little more AUP town planning can provide advice on a range of considerations prior purchasing a development site - which reduces the risk of purchase and development even more than a due diligence investigation - so you know how to maximise a property's development potential and your potential financial gains.
